Preventative healthcare of the older cat (for Nurses)

Now that older cats are forming an increasing proportion of our caseload, it's more important than ever to provide 'gold standard' care. There are many common health conditions affecting older cats and preventative healthcare is vital to ensure prompt diagnosis and management of these. Subclinical illness is common but simple tests including detailed history and physical exam, weight assessment, free catch urinalysis, blood pressure assessment and blood tests can optimise early diagnosis. Care of the older cat can be a rewarding experience for cats, owners and veterinary professionals.

How to get the most out of your blood gas results (for nurses)

Proper collection of blood samples for diagnostic and monitoring purposes is an important part of the job of the veterinary nurse. Acid/base and blood gases are routine tests performed in veterinary emergency and critical care settings around the world today. Increasingly this technology is becoming incorporated into the daily lives of veterinary professionals even outside of this setting, such as general practice. In this talk we will discuss the process of sample collection, sample handling and the parameters derived from this test so that you can gain confidence in alerting your vets, with accuracy, when a problem is looming.

Help, my patient has arrested! An introduction to CPR (for Nurses)

In this webinar we will review the RECOVER ( Reassessment Campaign on Veterinary Resuscitation) guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. In practice CPR is fortunately not often required but when it does occur it can be a stressful event for everyone involved. The aim of this seminar is to leave you feeling more confident when dealing with a situation when your patient has arrested. For the scope of this seminar we will focus on Basic Life Support. Advanced Life Support falls out of the scope of this webinar but will be briefly discussed. You will learn how to recognize and assess cardiopulmonary arrest and how to respond to this appropriately. The principles of Basic Life Support will be covered step by step, both in a single rescue situation and a team situation. This includes chest compressions and discussing chest compression points in different breeds and species, intubation and ventilation. These guidelines will help you deal with any CPR code in your practice.
